We’re back in action with a pair of Game 2’s tonight with the short-handed Sixers looking to even things up with Miami and the Mavs searching for answers in Phoenix.
Philadelphia 76ers at Miami Heat
Eastern Conference Semi-Finals: Game 2
The Sixers sorely missed the presence of Joel Embiid on Monday night, and they’ll have to take on the Miami Heat without their star big man once again tonight in Miami with the possibility of going down 0-2 looming.
James Harden was underwhelming on Monday night in the Game 1 loss to Miami, and, I’ll repeat it, he has to be much better, or Philly could be heading home trailing by a pair and in danger of being bounced. Miami is too deep for the Sixers not to get the most out of all of their players, especially one that they traded a massive haul to Brooklyn for at the trade deadline for this very reason.
What Heat is doing to Harden and reaction from his team. And trash talk, praise from 76ers https://t.co/U67wGOPzBa

Dallas Mavericks at Phoenix Suns
Western Conference Semi-Finals: Game 2
Luka Dončić was phenomenal on Monday night, scoring 45 points while grabbing 12 rebounds for the Mavs in a Game 1 loss to the Phoenix Suns, which is scary for the Mavs chances in this series. If Dončić can turn in a performance like that and the Suns still win convincingly, what can Dallas do to beat Phoenix?
